Hello fellow drone builders,
We are currently working on a control system, that controls a drone via thrust and torque setpoints.
We use ROS2 as the communication framework and we use the PX4 sitl to simulate the drone, before trying it out on the real drone in the future (like seen here).
As the thrust and torque messages are normalized (VehicleThrustSetpoint for reference), I guess we need to divide the desired thrust/ torque value through the maximum thrust/ torque the drone can provide .
Now, my question is, how do I find the maximum thrust/ torque of the x500 drone used in the standard px4 simulation?
I did some research, but I couldn’t find any reliable values, I know that I can calculate them, but I am missing some variables that I cant find for the simulated drone.
I also searched the sdf files
Also I need a sanity check:
Dividing through the maximum thrust/ torque, is the correct way to normalize right?
Thank you for your help
